Jazz Age Wednesday — Pip & Artie, Epilogue

Awesome Teagan you had my mouth watering over the spread Granny Phanny laid out.

Jazz Age Wednesday — Pip & Artie, Aghast at a Ghost

Teagan, I loved it, like Pip I think seeing it in person might have been quite the laugh.

Author Neil Gaiman for Get Caught Reading

May is #GetCaughtReading Month! Chris Graham, the Story Reading Ape himself, and I are together again to support this initiative that promotes the fun of reading for all ages.

Chris and I have collaborated on several short stories that include his character, a genius ape named Artie and my first flapper, Pip. It all started with Time Travel Esc-Ape. Then there was Pip in the Corn Maze, followed by the three-part Pip and Artie Meet Again.

I hope you Get Caught Reading our new story! It is set during the time-line of my upcoming novel A Ghost in the Kitchen. All right then, let’s get a wiggle on and head to the Jazz Age!

Back on The Train Lulu by Rob Goldstein

Happy weekend, everyone! I’m still settling in at my new digs in the Land of Enchantment, painting the walls, putting furniture together, and generally keeping every muscle in my body sore.

Crystal the cat seems to have made the adjustment. A few nights I’ve heard her making a midnight romp, and this morning, she wanted to play with her collection of bouncy and fuzzy balls! She also insists on approving any decorating.

Coming Right Up

I’ve mentioned that San Francisco artist, poet, and activist, Rob Goldstein and I got back together with a short story for Lulu, Gramps, and the enigmatic Valentino. I call it “One Million Years B-Lulu.” It’s a little riff on the old movie “One Million Years BC.”

Rob has made terrific illustrations for it. He really got…

Lulu looking tub bot Metropolis 9 With helpful angel-bots, Lulu gets ready for a bath. (Art by Rob Goldstein)

I’ve been painting accent walls. Places that I don’t even have are sore! I sure wish I had a couple of angel-bots to run a nice hot bath for me… Hullaba Lulu may have been brash and uncouth, but she was one lucky flapper!

My plate is full with putting my new home in order. I’ve been gathering the day-to-day needs that I couldn’t bring with me. Did you ever stop to think just how many different needful things you use in the course of a single day? From the handy holder for the toothbrush (still on my “to get” list) in the morning, to the bedside water glass at night. (I know that glass is here somewhere…)

Anyhow, I’m not back to full-steam-ahead blogging quite yet, but I’m getting there! Even though…

A Ghost in the Kitchen!

Hi there, shieks and shebas! Thanks for all your the good thoughts, vibes, prayers, and luck you’ve sent about my relocation. It was a 2,000 mile trip, and Crystal refused to be the next Toonces the Driving Cat.

After 1,200 miles I stopped at a hotel, for the cat’s sake. Unfortunately it was so noisy that she was too terrified to pee. I called the vet and was told that she probably wouldn’t go at all while that stressed. So, four hours of noise later, I gave up any hope of sleep (or cat using litter box) and got back on the road.

I’m on the way to regaining my energy and getting over some…
